Group Buy: Peerless by Tympahny DFM-2535R00-08

Burst decay spectogram (1/3 octave resolution ) of the DFM-2535 on an 520 mm diameter Ath Gen2 waveguide. For this, the frequency response was linearized between 1 kHz and 20 kHz.

This should all look nearly identical on the A460G waveguide shouldn't it?
 
I assume the carrier will probably be DHL, and I do not know if there are special rates in place for businesses which we can benefit from. This said, the international shipping rate to the US available to private customers is currently 47.99 EUR. So probably in this ballpark region.

More information will be available when I transmit the list to the Tympahny distributor / dealer once the minimum order amount is reached. Possibly the week after next week.
Follow up questions - will the drivers be shipped from the distributor directly to the buyers, or will you act as intermediary ?
I assume you are intermediary for the payments, is that correct? You will submit the complete payment to the distributor?

Do you know what the lead time is?

Do you know if the 47.99 EUR rate will cover the shipping for a single driver, or multiples?

Forgive me for asking so many questions upfront, I want to avoid unexpected costs later and have to pay much more than I wanted to, or cancel the order.
Thank you !

Yes.

No, I hope not, otherwise my next tax declaration will be a PITA. It's an official dealer with good reputation. I strictly want to act as a broker for organizational purpose.

Do you know what the lead time is?
I will receive more information next week.

This rate is for a parcel of 5 kilo, 120 x 60 x 60 cm. Probably good for 5 drivers.

I want to avoid unexpected costs later
Most probably there will be some import duties.

Forgive me for asking so many questions upfront
No, thanks for asking!

Thanks for the detailed responses ! Please let me know when you hear about lead times and I'll decide then.

I expect there should be no customs duties for US customers if the order is below 800$ or so, atleast when ordering from TLHP I have not had to pay duties.
 
One more question in this regard: which throat adapter was used for the measurements? Maybe I've missed it, but whats the exit angle of the DFM-2535R00-08?

This should be the STD-3 adapter https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...he-easy-way-ath4.338806/page-773#post-7765060 for the A520G2 https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...he-easy-way-ath4.338806/page-774#post-7766402, that matches the 21.7 degree exit angle https://www.diyaudio.com/community/...he-easy-way-ath4.338806/page-774#post-7766284 but does not utilize an insert that starts at the way to the phase plug. The difference to an unmatchd (degree?) adapter is not big, though. Some wiggles around 7-8 kHz are straigthened out, but a small step introduced at 5 kHz, when compared to the unmodified adapter: https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/acoustic-horn-design-the-easy-way-ath4.338806/page-767
 
Good news: we have reached our quota sometime last week and proceeded to the next phase: making the inquiry at Tymphany.

We are awaiting their reply by the end of the week and I will write with specifics then.

However, the whole procedure will likely take time, as Tymphany usually produces these batches on-demand. A possible exception is if there is still stock from a recent production run for an OEM left.
